Sounds to me like you might be having a problem with either your key switch, or more likely your starter. Although I have never had a starter go out on any riding mower Ive ever had, thats really what is sounds like. On the other hand, I have had many a key switch go bad and they act alot like your symptoms. So I would start at the simplest and work backwards.

Also, make sure blades are disengaged and also they are not bound up on the underside of the mower deck. also check the belt and its not in a bind. These thing could be dragging down your motor keeping it from starting. Let me know if I can help further. Have a Great Day! Good Luck!

Check the two main gears. One at the end of the steering shaft and the other that it contacts. Some brands are adjustable where the large gear is held on by a bolt and an excentric which allows you to move the large gear closer to the smaller gear. This may have been knocked out of place or the gear(s) stripped. Here is a basic diagram of the parts.

I had the same problem. My LA 175 mowere deck would not engage and I figured out that the battery was not sending the sufficient 12volts to the mower deck to run the mower. I replaced the battery and that fixed the problem only to reveal the original problem. Within 2 hours of mowing the battery again died. I replaced the voltage regulator and that didnt help. I need suggestions on where to go from here please. Anybody?

You need to check that there is a 12volt supply from the low tention wire at the solinoid when the key is turned, if there is not either the switch is bad, or the wire from the switch is bad, or the fuse has blown.

Can you measure the voltage of the battery? If you are getting low voltage then the battery needs to be charged or replaced, if the voltage is good then you probably have a bad starter. It might be something you can see like shorted windings on the motor.
